Kcnlticrcil ftfoin for the
Prcncnt SenHlon.
LINCOLN , Feb.I. . ( Special. ) Tbo house
dlil nothing today except the work In com-
mltteo of the whole , which resulted In the
killing of n bill nsklng for nn Increased too
for notnrlnl commissions , and nnother bill
repealing n section of the statute relating
to the disposition of ecbool fund fees In the
hnnds of officials and Uncalled for. The ob
jection urged against the latter bill wns
that It was one of the Wheeler-Sheldon
grist. I'rlnco of Hall sounded the keynolo
when he said that these hills ought to be
killed na soon ns they wcro reached , because -
cause If tlicy ivcro all considered the house
would have no time for other work.
The suspicion has obtained In the house
that the Wheeler-Sheldon bills were not
Introduced In good fnllh nnd that there was
a speculation behind them. Ono of the
authors of the bills Is n professional com
piler ol statutes nnd the other Is clerk of
ttio state printing board. By Introducing
their 125 bills In each house of the legis
lature the state Is made to pny the print
ing contractor about $200 extra. Then the
passage of a number of the so-called
statute revision bills would furnish an excuse -
cuso to ] > ut a largo number of now statutes
on the market , -which would furnish a neat
profit for the compilers. Then there Is the
further suspicion that the fusion politicians
are anxious to swamp the legislature with
this clnsa of tills In order to prevent the
transaction of other business and neces
sarily lengthen out the time nnd expense
of the session.
I'nil tlitPayroll. .
The Industry of the fusion state officials
In getting men on the legislative pay roll
Is so striking ns to almost command ad
miration. The house takes care of a sup
ply clerk , appointed by the secretary of
state , while the sonata pays for a secretary's
messenger , n governor's page , a cleric and
a page for the llteutenant governor. Be
sides tticso the fuslonlsts slipped In. two
custodians and a fireman and nrc hunting
for more vulnerable places that can bo at
tached by the allied forces. \
The manner of getlug custodians on the
list has attracted some attention. At the
beginning of the session a man was sent
Into the west end of the basement and an
other Into the east end , with Instructions to
camp there as "custodians of the water
closets , " and with the promise that they
would later be worked onto the pay roll of
the legislature. The west end man held on
until a few days ago , when It was found
that ho had been planted there by the fusion
place hunters. He , was discharged by the
senate and a republican appointed to the
place. The man who Is In the east base
ment and who Is charged up to the house ,
Is still tanging on , although the record
shows that he was one of the employes of
the 1S97 session and that ho was one of the
beneficiaries of the raid made on the legis
lature In December , when the legislative
'
halls were being "fixed up" for the present
session.
The exposure of this "fixing up" game ,
as published in The Bee this morning , at
tracted much , attention among tha members
today , and hereafter the bills of that sort
that corao In will be Inspected with un
usual cnro. The condition of the printing
contracts stowed that there was a plan to
saddle as much expense as possible on the
session and the "house cleaning" develop
ments prove that the attack IB to come from
all directions.
What It Contn.
To give sorno idea of the expense Incurred
In getting the legislative halls In shape for
a session it is necessary to go to the
records to flnd what was paid out last ses
sion , for janitors and custodians , whose duty
It was to take care of the rooms , keep them
clean and leave them in good shape for the
next session.
The legislature of 1897 employed twenty-
two janitors and custodians for this work at
a total cost of $4,82G. Besides these they
had employed by the year six men whoso
duty It was to keep the building In order ,
and the pay for 'tiheso ' for two years has
amounted to about $7,200. But the rooms
aeem to have been In such a frightfully bad
condition that .the secretary of state em
ployed $1,271.60 extra help In November and
December to "clean up" tha rooms , the bills
to bo paid by the present legislature. The
committee on accounts and expenditures has
already allowed $782.50 of these bills and Is
investigating the balance.
A tabulated statement of the expense of
keeping tbo atato house clean , which must
Include the pay for t'he arduous labors of the
twenty-two men of last session would bo as
foUows :
Salary 22 men 1837 session $ 4.826.00
Salary C Janltorn , two years 7,200.00
Bill for "flxInK up" allowed 782.50
Bill for same being Investigated. . . . 492.00
Total $13,200.50
None of this expense could have been
made necessary because of the balls nnd re
ceptions held in the state house during the
lust two years , for In each case of this Iclnd
the regular Janitors received extra pay for
cleaning up the halls. Were It not for the
heavy drain on the taxpayers the janitor
blllfl incurred by the present Board of Pub
lic Lands and Buildings would look ridicu
lous ,
No now bills were Introduced In tbo house
today , Indicating that the bill factory Is be
ginning to run on short hours and may soon
close down. Some of the members are ex
pected to come hack from home with now
hills Monday , but It Is bollove'd that the del
uge of "by request" bills IB about ended.
The high number Is now II. R. 482 , nnd the
printers are caught up to No. 306 , In the
session of 1897 the house put in C38 bills
without any aid from a "statute revision"
syndicate.
Work of the Semite ,
Tha only now bills Introduced In tbo sen
ate today were the four supplementary rev
enue bills by Van Duscn of Douglas , cutting
down the maximum amount that can be
levied for certain purposes. It is understood ,
of course , that these measures cutting down
the nmountH that may bo levied to moot the
various public expenses of the state depend
entirely upon the passage of ono of the rev
enue bills Increasing the grand assessment
roll of the state from $167,000,000 , to $600-
000,000 ,
The bills Introduced today by Senator Van
Dusen reduce the maximum amount that
may bo levied , upon vote of the electors of
the district , for the purpose of buying school
sites and erecting school bouses thereon ,
from 10 mills to 2 mills. Tbo levy for gen
eral purposes In carrying on the schools ,
aside from bonded Indebtedness and the fund
above mentioned , In reduced from 25 mills to
8 , i mills. Again it la provided that tbo ag
gregate school taxes for all purposes shall
not exceed 1 per cent of the assessed valu
ation Instead of 2 per cent. Taxes for town
purposes ore reduced as follows : For roafla ,
from 2 mills to one-half of 1 mill ; for
bridges , from 2 mills to one-hulf of 1 mill ;
for all other purposes , from 3 mills to 1 mill ,
3. F. 81 , which was passed by the senate
this morning , was introduced by Owens of
Dawson , It simply makes the law relat
ing to cltleo of tbo if con (3 ( class uniform
es to the number of Inhabitants that con
stitute a city of the second class 5,000 ti
10,000. ,
Senator Fowler Introduced S. V. 62. a bill
to amend the Code of Civil Procedure re
lating to replevin In Justice courts. Tbo
Jurisdiction of a Justice court Is limited to
suits of $200 or less. The present law pro
vides that In replevin eults appraisers inus
bo appointed to appraise the property anil
If they flnd It to bo of n value exceeding
$200 the Justice sh.lll at once transcript the
ease to the district court. This 1 > lll adiU
another provision thiit if the appraisers
value the property nt less than $200 $ ani
the cnso goes for trlnl , but the Jury ( ot
court , If Jury Is waived ) finds the value
ot the property Involved to he In excess
ot $200 , the Justice shall not enter JiMs-
ment , but shall at once transcript the pro
ceedings to the district court.
I'ruueilurf ! In Trial CHRP * ,
3. F. 24 Is the bill Introduced by Talbot -
bet ot Lancaster relating to procedure In
the trial of cases. By It part 111 ot section
283 ot tho'Civil Code Is amended in glso
defendants the right to Interpose a de
murrer In the trial of causes , after the
plaintiff has closed the Introduction of his
testimony , on the ground that no cause
at action has been proven , but If the do-
murrcv Is overruled the defendant may pro-
ctcd to Introduce 'his testimony and not bo
compelled to stand on his demurrer.
Prnut ot Gage Introduced S. F. 81 , which
simply seeks to amend the present law rela
tive to the giving of undertakings In ap
peal cases. The bill provides that at leasl
ona of the sureties shall bo a resident ol
the county In which the action is pending.
Guaranty company bonds , however , are pro
vided for In case appellant desires to give
that kind of a bond.
S , F. EG , liy Talbot ot Lancaster , was In
troduced to euro a defect In the passage
of the same law some years ago by adding
a proper repealing clause to the old law , but
In committee of the whole was ( slightly
amended to allow Judges , of the district court
until the second Tuesday In January to
fix the terms of court for the coming year.
The present law says they must fix the
terms of court for the year on the first
day ot January. The reason for the change
was to allow Incoming Judges every fourth
year to fix their own terms of court for
that year Instead of the outgoing Judges
doing it "for them.
9. F. 152 , 86 and 58 , also pas-sod today ,
with the five Just above mentioned , are

tions and unlom" was considered and rec
ommended for passage.

follows : "That all unclaimed few and
costs which have been paid and not nc-
manded for two , shall bo paid In by the

control such unclaimed fees and costs in ly

ment had been made by a number or uipin-
bcrs that there was no profit In the oilU'o
of notary public , most of the work being
done for accommodation , and that the high
fee proposed by the bill would prevent many
from billing out commissions and would
work a hardship , especially In the sparsely
settled portions of the state.

wanted to run home over Sunday and many
of them -\vere \ nhsent on these days It the
senate remained In session.
Currlo of Ouster enid when he accepted the
office ho now holds ho did so under the be
lief that this \v.as to DC a business session.
Ho would like to go home occasionally as
well as anyone , hut lived so far away ho
co"Uld not do so , being therefore left In Lin
coln nt great expense during these adjourn
ments. Reynolds of Dawes agreed with Sen
ator Currlo and said that after a whllo it
the senate would make an adjournment Jong
enough for the senators from remote dis
tricts to get a trip home ho would favor It.
Dunn of Colfax said as ho was the youngest
member of the senate ho presumed ho was
the "baby" and wanted to go homo occa
sionally. Ho thought the senators near Lin
coln who could slip homo on these short
adjournments ought not to oppose allowing
those farther awny nnd with poorer railroad
connections like privileges occislonnlly. Ho
thought the eenators might put In a few
more hours dally rather than get behind on
the general flie. Ho was a farmer and got up
early. Ho grew tired of waiting till 10
o'clock every morning to begin work.
In reply Senator Van Uusen said that if
10 considered senate bills for two hours
each evening in his room at the liotel nnd
met with the judiciary committee nt 0 o'clock
each morning to formulate reports , as ho was
doing each day of the session , he thought
10 would not complain of the work , How
ever , If Dunn wanted the sessions to begin
at 7 a. m. he ( Van Dusen ) would agree to
30 on hand.
Senator Dunn offered to "swap Jobs" with
: ho senator from Douglas , deeming the
loner obtained from securing the chair
manship of such an important committee a
full compensation for the extra labor in
curred. The amendment fixing Monday at
11 o'clock as the time for adjournment pre
vailed , only four votes being recorded in
the negative.
After the Joint session the parleying on
adjournment was resumed. Currlo of Gus1 1
cr moved that the senate take a recess till
J:30 : o'clock , Sc'haal ' of Sarpy offered nn
amendment that the senate adjourn. Hell
call wns demanded on the amendment , It
received 13 ayes and 14 naya. Talbot of
Lancaster tried to hnvo his vote changed
'rom ' nay to aye after the result was an
nounced , but was rilled out of order. Hell
cull on the motion to tnko a recess till
2:30 : , however , only received eight alllrma-
Ivo votes to seventeen against , many eemi-
era reversing their former vote. Senator
Seliaal renewed his motion to adjourn , nnd
t carried , upon which the senate adjourned
ill 11 o'clock Monday.

I noticed two of my little puplla , brother
and sister , when reaching up for a book or
any article that I desired to hand to them ,
trembled more or 'less ' from the fingers to
the shoulder ,
I finally concluded this , was not shyness ,
hut waa really some physical trouble , and
upon inquiring I discovered that they were
lu the habit of drinking toffee every morn-
lag for breakfast. I warned the children
"
to leave off "the coffee , for 1 knew It vas tbo
cause of tlielr trouble and -nonhi ruin them

use Vostum Food Coffee , for I know that -to
bo lutltbful , strengthening and a perfectly
natural liquid food , A short time there
after tbo little folks spoken of were fntlrtly
well of their slight palsy. *
H is a distressing state of affairs where
parents permit children to use ordinary
coffee.
Many eases have come to my nbtlce whcro
